After swallowing my anger and taking the blame, I became the lucky little queen

Speaking of this, Li Yaoyuan couldn't help but frown. This was the first time she showed a sad expression since they met.

Nian Susu clenched his fists and became inexplicably nervous.

Li Yaoyuan: "We have met, and he recognized me, but I refused to admit it. I just said that I escaped from Southern Xinjiang, my family fell into poverty, and the war was raging. After I got separated from my family, I started a small business in Wujun."

"He didn't believe me at first and came to harass me every few days. Later, my wife, who often visited me, couldn't stand it anymore and testified for me. In addition, I changed many of my previous habits, and even my views on the world are completely different from before."

"After a deep conversation with me, he believed that I was not Li Yaoyuan, but just looked like her."

Li Yaoyuan sighed heavily, "I don't care whether he believes it or not. As long as it doesn't affect my life, what he thinks, does, and does has nothing to do with me."

Her carefree attitude made it seem like she really had no love for Xiao Jianting at all.

But thinking of Xiao Jianting's reaction when he heard the name "Li Yaoyuan", and his various behaviors, Nian Susu felt that he still couldn't let it go.

I don’t know if it’s because I feel guilty and resentful, or because I love you too deeply.

Nian Susu asked again, "I saw someone sending flowers to his house today, saying it was from Miss Yu. What's going on?"

Li Yaoyuan smiled even more. "Well... after I made it clear to him that day, he never bothered me again. But he paid a year's deposit and asked me to send him a bouquet of fresh, trimmed flowers every day."

"Who would go against silver? So I agreed."

Nian Susu also thought it was a good idea to agree, so he distanced himself intentionally.

The two chatted and laughed, and talked about many topics.

For example, the outgoing man - Ding Changfeng, was the errand runner hired by Li Yaoyuan two months ago. At first, his job was only to carry fertilizer and soil, but later he even took on the work of delivering flowers, planting flowers, and watching the store. He asked to do these jobs on his own initiative and did not ask for a penny more.

Li Yaoyuan is not the kind of boss who exploits his employees, so he still gave him a raise.

For example, the little girl who showed Nian Susu the way was a "child laborer" in a flower shop. Because her mother was sick and had no money to buy medicine, she sold herself to save her mother. Li Yaoyuan saw her and asked her to help him deliver flowers. She gave her five cents for each bouquet of flowers. Li Yaoyuan advanced her twenty taels of silver. After her mother's illness was cured, the little girl went to work in the shop very actively every day.

Li Yaoyuan has lived a rich and interesting life in the past six months. She has met many different kinds of people and many interesting and touching things have happened to her.

Nian Susu could see the light in her eyes just by listening to her description, so a person's living environment and experience are really important. Wu Jun changed Li Yaoyuan, and Yu Yue was the only one left in the world.

Nian Susu was afraid that if he stayed out for too long he would arouse suspicion, so he said goodbye to Li Yaoyuan reluctantly.

Li Yaoyuan sent her to the door of Yulinju. Nian Susu had already walked three or four steps forward when he suddenly turned around and said to her, "Miss Yu, I'm leaving now. I'll come to see you another day if I have the chance."

She was smiling, but her words were accompanied by a hint of bitterness.

Li Yaoyuan wanted to say something, opened her mouth, and finally just said: "Okay."

-

Nian Susu and Xiao Yunzheng returned to Yian Garden before dark.

Unexpectedly, Qin Junyu was standing alone in the middle, blocking their way back to the east wing.

He stood in the wind, the cold wind lifted his clothes and his hair flew. He stood there quietly, like a lone crane.

Hearing the movement behind him, Qin Junyu tilted his head slightly and asked calmly: "Why did you come back so late?"

Although Xiao Yunzheng didn't know why Qin Junyu stopped them, she was clear about one thing - she didn't want to be criticized.

Xiao Yunzheng lifted her skirt and quickly ran away from Qin Junyu, heading towards the east wing, shouting as she ran: "Oh, my stomach hurts so much! I can't stand it anymore, I need to relieve myself!"

The sound was gradually drowned out by the setting sun.

When Nian Susu reacted, the person had already run away. She opened her mouth towards the direction where Xiao Yunzheng disappeared, and her eyes met Qin Junyu who turned around. She closed her mouth obediently.

He explained guiltily, "Your Highness, you also know that Master Xiao and Yun Zheng haven't seen each other for half a year, so naturally they have a lot to talk about. Master Xiao also asked about the situation of the Xiao family. With these questions and answers, it was dark before we knew it."

She added flatteringly, "But! I was afraid that His Highness would be worried, so I brought Yun Zheng back before dark."

Nian Susu blinked his eyes, not knowing whether Qin Junyu believed it or not. He had a blank expression on his face, but after listening to her, he actually smiled.

Standing with his back to the light, his tall figure was like a mountain, suffocating people. His smile seemed a little weird.

"I didn't say anything, why are you so nervous?" Qin Junyu laughed.

Nian Susu curled his lips and muttered softly: "Then you are just like raising an army to accuse someone of something..."

Qin Junyu didn't know whether he heard it or not, and took her hand and walked towards the east wing.

As the sun sets, it gets dark very quickly. When Nian Susu came back, there was still some afterglow, but now there is no light at all, only a hint of setting sun.

They both walked slowly and spoke at a slower pace.

Qin Junyu asked her: "How do you feel today? Did you have fun?"

Nian Susu thought of Li Yaoyuan. She couldn't tell whether it was because she felt guilty about hiding something from Qin Junyu, or because she felt regretful that seeing her old friend again "was not like the days of our youth", which made her feel a tightness in her chest.

But she only hesitated for a moment, and then told him firmly: "Well, I'm very happy. I met Master Xiao and told him a lot of things in the past. I miss him a lot."

Qin Junyu glanced at her sideways and actually knew very well what she was thinking.

He knew that Li Yaoyuan was in Wujun. When Qingyu sent people out of Shengjing, he informed him in advance, and he was also aware of what happened afterwards.

When she proposed to go to Wujun with Xiao Yunzheng yesterday, he guessed that she was going to look for Li Yaoyuan. When he came back, he couldn't say whether he was in a good mood or a bad mood, mostly because he had seen her.

"It's all in the past, and we have to learn to move on."

"At least, we are all slowly moving in a better direction."

Qin Junyu comforted her with a few words.

Nian Su Su smiled and said, "I know."

When they arrived at the east wing, the two did not go in immediately, but sat on the stone bench in the yard for a while.

Qin Junyu told her that there was heavy rain in Yuhang a few days ago, so they could not go up Jiuyun Mountain for the time being, and they might have to stay in Jiangnan for some time before they could go back.

Nian Susu didn't react much after hearing this, but instead advised him to take this opportunity to visit Xiao Jianting.

In her opinion, Xiao Jianting had no plan to return to Shengjing at all. If she missed this opportunity, she didn't know when they would meet again.
